Chapter 36: Light and Darkness

The next second, the coldness in Gu Qing's eyes disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

But the atmosphere became heavy again, which hinted that Li Shiying's idea had touched Gu Qing's sore spot, and the relationship between the two, which seemed to have eased a little, fell back to the lowest point again.

Li Shiying's body was stiff and she couldn't move.

It was not only the look in Gu Qing's eyes just now, but also his words that seemed to be calmest.

He will hate her...

This made Li Shiying suddenly realize that there are relationships worse than strangers...

Enemy.

Thinking of this, Li Shiying bit her lips until they bled, and finally said, "Okay."

It was just such a simple word, but it seemed to have exhausted all of Li Shiying's strength, making her feel as if she had lost her soul.

But Li Shiying also realized her hypocrisy.

She really treats Gu Qing's grandmother Zhang Yuegui very well. It is because she likes Gu Qing that she treats his grandmother so well.

Before this, this kind of feeling was naturally understandable, but after Gu Qing no longer had feelings for her, she indeed had no relationship with his grandmother.

Gu Qing was not stupid, of course he could see that she wanted to use his grandmother to get back together with him, which was absolutely unacceptable to him.

Gu Qing could not allow anyone to have impure motives about what his grandmother did.

In fact, Gu Qing only called Zhang Yuegui grandma because the age gap between him and Zhang Yuegui was too big.

Otherwise, she should actually be his mother.

But this is better.

If she settles the account between her and Grandma Gu Qing, then wouldn't it be justifiable for her to visit her grandmother later?
Grandma likes her very much. It is impossible for Gu Qing to stop her from visiting grandma just because they broke up, right?

Li Shiying comforted herself in this way.

In her dictionary, there are only small wins, medium wins, and big wins.

In short, there is no loss.

Gu Qing was seen operating his phone, and then handed a card to Li Shiying: "I have transferred the extra money. There is 140 million in this card. The password is my birthday. Thank you for taking care of grandma over the years."

After saying that, Gu Qing also let out a sigh of relief.

Li Shiying was extremely reluctant, but she still took the card and said softly, "It's all my duty."

Gu Qing didn't comment, and said calmly: "Then it's my money that I spent, there's still more than two million. But I really can't take out so much money at the moment..."

Li Shiying quickly said, "I'm not in a hurry. Qingqing, you can return it whenever you want."

This is the only connection she has left with Gu Qing.

She was even somewhat thankful that she had spent so much money on Gu Qing over the years. Otherwise, if Gu Qing had paid her back all at once, would she still be able to get him back?
But Li Shiying felt a little regretful. Why couldn't she spend more on Gu Qing? It would be best if Gu Qing could not repay her in his lifetime even if he tried his best.

Now, this two million is indeed out of reach for normal people, but for a one-time performance, one can take out one and a half million...

Eh?
Li Shiying was suddenly stunned.

Although Lin Yuwei and Gu Qing were in a... trading relationship, she actually paid so much money for Gu Qing?!
Li Shiying was a little shocked. It was not that Gu Qing was not worth the price. In her eyes, Gu Qing was priceless. But Lin Yuwei was different. She was a businessman. Judging from her behavior of putting a collar on Gu Qing, she could not possibly love him.

So for this price of over one million, how much of himself did Gu Qing sell out, and how much more...

How long?
Li Shiying really wanted to know this, but she couldn't ask Gu Qing. God knew how much humiliation and sadness he had suffered in his relationship with Lin Yuwei. How could she let him recall it again?
What's more, all this is because of her.

At this moment, Li Shiying's slender hands hidden under her sleeves slowly clenched into fists. While she felt infinite regret and self-blame, she also developed great hostility towards Lin Yuwei.

Although Gu Qing is an adult, he is still studying!

Even she didn't dare to touch Gu Qing, how could Lin Yuwei dare!
She must snatch Gu Qing from Lin Yuwei...

return……

As Li Shiying thought about this, her momentum suddenly dropped.

Not to mention her current relationship with Gu Qing, even if there were no outsiders involved, it would be a long way to go for her to save the relationship.

Not to mention Lin Yuwei's conditions, which are perfect in every aspect.

In terms of appearance, her facial features are so gorgeous that other women feel ashamed of themselves. She doesn't need any makeup, beauty filters, or other techniques... Her bare face is enough to outshine all the other stars in seconds.

In terms of identity, she is the founder of a company that competes with her mother. Even now, her mother seems a little tired and powerless when facing Lin Yuwei.

There is also status, figure, temperament...

The most important thing is that Lin Yuwei is too young.

Being young means that she has not reached the upper limit of these things and there is still room for improvement.

Li Shiying didn't even need to consider her own conditions. She felt panic instinctively when facing such an enemy.

Just like the domestic special effects films she watched when she was a child, the Flame Dragon Armor is indeed omnipotent, but when facing the Emperor Armor, it can only feel powerlessness and despair, because the other party is not only omnipotent, but also crushes it in all aspects.

If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid her fate will be even more miserable than 2.5 Satoru, right?

But obviously, obviously she didn't need to go head-to-head with Lin Yuwei, she already had the best person in the world...

Lin Yuwei, the love rival, should not have appeared...

Thinking of this, a strong sense of bitterness welled up in Li Shiying's eyes again, causing her to shed tears once again.

pat, pat.

Almost losing Gu Qing's future forever made her feel desperate.

And she seemed to no longer be able to find any angle... to be optimistic about.

Gu Qing caught a glimpse of the trembling Li Shiying. She had no expression on her face and was just searching the Internet for the highest interest rate within the normal range.

After a while, Gu Qing said calmly: "Then I will calculate it based on the highest normal interest rate of 15.4%. I will return the two million to you as quickly as possible."

"Is this okay?"

After waiting for a while, Li Shiying did not respond.

Yes, she was crying so hard that she probably didn't even hear what he said.

Gu Qing stood up and prepared to leave.

He and Li Shiying have already talked about everything they wanted to talk about. If surgery is not possible, then this one-on-one conversation can really end, right?
Regardless of whether Li Shiying agrees or not, this is the best solution he can think of.

In a sense, this is a notification, not an inquiry.

Gu Qing took a step forward and was suddenly stunned.

Doesn't his idea count as taking advantage of Li Shiying's love for him and acting recklessly?

Gu Qing stretched the corner of his mouth and suddenly smiled.

He scolded himself.

"Double-standard dog."

It's already this time, and you're still having double standards?

Without hesitation, Gu Qing took off his coat.

He didn't know why. It was clearly a summer night and should have been hot and humid, but he did feel an inexplicable chill running through his entire body from head to toe.

In that case, Li Shiying should also feel cold.

He didn't want to owe her anything anymore.

So, Gu Qing walked over and gently put the coat on Li Shiying.

But when he turned around again, his wrist was suddenly grabbed and pulled down hard.

Perhaps Li Shiying's force was very light, but her gender and the injury on Gu Qing's wrist still caused a stinging pain, causing Gu Qing to frown, close his lips tightly, and let out a muffled groan.

You stupid girl, where do you get all that energy from?

"Qingqing, don't go..." Li Shiying put on Gu Qing's coat and curled up her body. She looked very small. With her makeup smudged by her tears, she looked indescribably adorable.

But no matter what she looked like, she could no longer arouse the slightest emotion in Gu Qing.

Not to mention, the place where Gu Qing was held by her was feeling waves of needle-like pain.

As he felt unbearable pain, a proud face suddenly appeared in his mind, with golden hair shining as if it could glow.

Little golden retriever, I think I know how strong you are.

The traces left yesterday still remind us of her existence today.

Gu Qing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked vulnerable and groaned softly, "It hurts..."

Hearing this, Li Shiying felt as if she had received an electric shock, and quickly let go of Gu Qing's hand: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The word "意" was never uttered, because after Gu Qing broke free from her hands, he turned around and left her without hesitation.

From beginning to end, there was no looking back.

Li Shiying did not stand up and chase after him. She seemed to have lost the courage to face Gu Qing again. She could only fall there and watch Gu Qing getting farther and farther away from her and plunging from the darkness into the light.

To Gu Qing, the world with her is dim, and Lin Yuwei's side is bright?
Li Shiying thought blankly.

It was clearly the night that she and Gu Qing walked into together.

But Gu Qing abandoned her, leaving her alone in the darkness.

But who can be blamed?
After all, wasn’t it pitch dark when Gu Qing was on his way to the banquet venue?

If she could not listen to anyone, believe in herself, and believe in Gu Qing.

So at this moment, the ones standing in the spotlight would be her and Gu Qing.

No, that's not right...

If Gu Qing was by her side, she would never have held this birthday party. It would just be like any other day, with just the two of them, having a simple but happy birthday.

They ate cake together, sang birthday songs together, laughed and played together, lay on the sofa together, hugged each other, and watched the movie that they had seen dozens or hundreds of times.

Li Shiying couldn't control herself from thinking this way. The more she thought about it, the better it seemed, but also the more... painful it became.

Finally, she buried her head between her knees and cried out loud in the dark night.

"Gu Qing, Gu Qing..."

"Gu Qing?"

Back in the car, Lin Yuwei looked at Gu Qing who was sitting next to her and asked in confusion: "Are you okay?"

Gu Qing smiled sweetly: "What can I do? What's wrong, sister? What do you want me to do..."

His words stopped abruptly and he fell into Lin Yuwei's arms.

"Gu Qing! Gu Qing!"

Lin Yuwei held Gu Qing, who had suddenly fainted, in her arms. Her eyes showed unprecedented panic, and she shouted to Zhao Qiu, "Go to the hospital! Now!"
